Victor,
I need to see this one- though there were at least three or four versions weren't there?- again. Are you thinking of the mid-'50's one?
Aside: It appears though that all the Samurai have been run through. My stomach is already a little queasy after seeing the trailer for "The Last Samurai". Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery or it may be the sincrest form of total obliviousness.
How about combining "Bad Santa" and "The Last Samurai" for a holiday blockbuster release "Bad Samurai Santa." I see John Goodman in the title role..
Cheers,
Bam

I believe that is the one, I would have to check the tape, it's the only one I have, it is the version recommended by TAFKA some time ago.
I agree we have been over-samuried, but when it comes to Japanese movies fortunately there are so many fine alternatives... things like Woman in Dunes, Tampopo, Irezumi and many others... well, should I even mention In the Realm of Senses? :-))))))))))))))))))) and Steve is great source of information on all these.
